FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
ROCKTROPOLIS LAUNCHES ROCKTROPOLIS LIVE:
New Entertainment Platform Announces First Two Original Programs and Expands Its Mission Across Music, Entertainment and Pop Culture
October 6, 2026 â Ohio â Rocktropolis is proud to officially announce the launch of Rocktropolis Live, a new entertainment streaming platform created to bring music, personalities, original programming and the real stories behind the entertainment industry directly to audiences.
For several years, Rocktropolis has been shooting across the galaxy like a comet through the adult beverage and music communities, building relationships, creating content and developing opportunities for artists, entertainers, creators, businesses and audiences.
Now, Rocktropolis Live is ready to rocket into the future.
Rocktropolis Live is the next evolution of that journey.
The new platform will feature original streaming programming covering music, entertainment, relationships, personalities, live performances, behind-the-scenes stories and the people who make the entertainment business happen.
And the first two programs are already preparing for launch.
THE FIRST OF TWO PROGRAMS: SMART, SASSY & UNFILTERED
Rocktropolis Live is proud to partner with Smart, Sassy & Unfiltered, a largely female-driven podcast and entertainment platform that tackles the real issues of everyday life with honesty, humor and an unfiltered perspective.
The program gives women a place to talk openly about the subjects that matter â including raising families, careers, relationships, personal challenges and the hard questions that don't always have easy answers.
Smart, Sassy & Unfiltered isn't afraid to go where other conversations sometimes won't.
The partnership with Rocktropolis Live will bring that conversation to a broader audience while preserving the personality, honesty and authenticity that make the program unique.
Expect real conversations, real experiences, plenty of personality and absolutely no shortage of opinions.
THE SECOND PROGRAM: Is being led by BILLY MORRIS & TED HECKMAN
Rocktropolis Live will also partner with Billy Morris former Warrant Guitar Player and Ted Heckman former band manager and TM of the Bulletboys and current radio host on a brand-new original program currently in development and awaiting an official title.
The program will take viewers inside the ever-changing music industry and explore what really happens behind the scenes of the entertainment business.
Audiences will get a rare look behind the curtain at the world of show business â from artists and musicians to promoters, producers, venues, touring crews and the countless people working behind the scenes to make a performance possible.
The show will explore the ins and outs of showbiz, including the realities of touring, recording, performing, promotion, production and everything that goes into making sure the show goes on.
Billy Morris and Ted Heckman will bring their own experiences, personalities and perspectives to the conversation while introducing audiences to the people who work both in front of the curtain and behind it.
Because what audiences see on stage is only part of the story.
Behind every great performance is a team, a story, a journey and usually a whole lot of chaos that the audience never gets to see.
Rocktropolis Live intends to change that.
MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER PROGRAM
Rocktropolis Live is being built as more than a traditional source for programs.
The platform is designed to connect the worlds of television, live music, radio, podcasting, recording, digital media and live entertainment.
As the network develops, Rocktropolis Live plans to introduce additional original programs, interviews, live performances, special events, artist features and opportunities for emerging talent.
The goal is simple:
Give audiences something they can't get anywhere else â and give entertainers a platform where their stories can be heard.
âRocktropolis Live has always been about creating something bigger than ourselves,â said Ted Heckman. âWe've spent years building relationships in music and entertainment, and Rocktropolis Live gives us the opportunity to take everything we've learned and turn it into something audiences can experience. We're excited about where this rocket is headed.â
THE MISSION
Rocktropolis Live is being created with one central philosophy:
Entertainment should be entertaining â but it should also be real.
The platform will celebrate established artists while helping provide a spotlight for emerging performers, creators and personalities.
It will showcase the finished product while also telling the stories behind it.
It will explore the successes, failures, personalities, struggles, celebrations and unpredictable moments that make the entertainment industry what it is.
Because sometimes the best story isn't what happens on stage.
It's what happened getting there.
THE ROCKET IS LAUNCHING
From adult beverages and music to television, radio, podcasting and original programming, Rocktropolis Live continues to expand its universe.
Rocktropolis Live is the next chapter.
The cameras are rolling.
The programs are being developed.
The partnerships are taking shape.
And the rocket is fueled.
